Haad Thip turns to returnable glassMaj Gen Patchara says Haad Thip aims to increase revenue from returnable glass bottles to 6-7% of total revenue this year. SET-listed Haad Thip Plc, the exclusive bottler and distributor for Coca-Cola in 14 southern provinces, plans to expand its glass-bottled products to mitigate risks from rising plastic pellet prices, driven by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. In the 2025 financial year, the company's packaging revenue comprised 79% from PET, 16% from cans, 3% from returnable glass bottles (RGB) and non-RGB, and 2% from other sources. Maj Gen Patchara Rattakul, chief executive of the company, said Haad Thip aims to increase revenue from RGB to 6-7% of total revenue this year. "If the company raises product prices at this time, it will impact sales volume," Maj Gen Patchara said.
